Supervisor Proctor, one of the incor- porators of the Santa Cruz and Tucson Ditch Company, came in from Tubac yesterday, where the men are at work on the great ditch. The question of water supply for irrigating the broad acres in the valley of the Santa Cruz is no longer vexed problem, as great subterranean volume of water is well known under our burning sards, to rush onward to the sea. To bring that water to the surface and make it available has been publicly agi- tated for the past ten years, but that too is in far way of solution. A canal has been surveyed that will tap the river eight hundred feet higher than Tucson. Capital announces itself in readiness for investment, and men have been put to work in the excavations. This is busi- ness. Business means a canal, canal means borntiful supply of water and the reclama ion from the grasp of the desert of mere than fifty thousand acres of as good li.nd as ever the sun shone on. Citizen.

The attention of those newspapers which espoused the Tortilita Mining Company's scheme is called to the fol- lowing, which shows conclusively the great injury done to the mining interests of the whole Territory of Arizona by the foisting of the worthless stock of that company on the eastern market. A gen tleman of Globe, wishing to negotiate some valuable mining claims in this dis trict, wrote to New York broker to en- list his aid in placing the properties. The reply received was substantially that since the expose of the Tortilita swindle it was useless to attempt to sell any Ar- zona mines Tn New York.-Silver Belt.

The day is not far distant when the lands along the San Pedro river will be very valuable. Let Congress once settle the land grant question and olr county will boom. As it is now, with titles in dispute, permanent improve ments will not be made and settlers will hesitate long before occupying the land. If the Mexican titles are valid, they should be confirmed; if not valid, Con- gress should so declare and order the lands surveyed and open them to settle. ment under the various land laws. The present dilly-dallying course of our law makers is retarding the progress of the country. The attention of our dele gate in Congress is called to the mat ter. Of course the people do not ex- pect him to advise against confirming valid grants, but they do want the ques tion settled one way or the other.

We would call attention to the able article in this issue, copied from the Globe Silver Belt, advocating the aban- donment of military posts in the northern part ofthe Territory and the strengthening of those in, the southern. The argu- ments are unanswerable. If the wise policy advocated by General Miles oi having the Apache Indians divided up into smaller bands and stationed in different sections of the country, should not be adopted, it would seem to be the reasonable solution of the problem to have the troops placed where they car do the most good, and thus render the better protection to those brave pioneers who are making the desert blossom < the rose. The EPITAPH warmly endorses the proposition of the Silver Belt, ant trusts and believes that General Mile: will make such a disposition of tho troops in his command as will afford this protection.

One day this week Fred Bruner pick ed up dollar bill on the Postoffice floor and informed the postmaster that he had found something valuable, and to let him know if anyone came to inquire about it. Soon after Mrs. Hughes came and described the bill and it was prompt ly paid over to her by Mir. Bruner. While there is nothing remarkable about this, it is safe to say there are number of men in the camp would have quietly pocketed the money and said nothing about it.

Dr. G. E. Goodfellow is bigger man than the United States. The doctor bought horse in Mexico that had been abandoned by the troops, and which had been seized and sold by the Mexican authorities. The army officers brought suit to recover the animal, and Judge Barnes decided thatthe Government had lost its title.
Tombstone epitaph., 1887-12-03

Now that Hon. Mark A. Smith, our delegate to Congress, is at his post, the people of Arizona will expect him to use his best endeavors 10 redeem the promises made previous 10 election. The great and all absorbing question for Ari- zona is the development of water. We need Government aid in building inn mense storage reservoirs; we want a photographic survey of the territory, and artesian wells should be bored in differ ent sections. From our knowledge of the Hon. Mark we believe he will leave no stone unturned in accomplishing these objects. If he should be successful, he will continue to be Arizona's favorite son. The following extract from a speech made by General N. A. Miles before the Society of Arizona Pioneers will give him some ideas which perhaps have not occurred to him:
 "It is not belived, however, that all the measures sof internal improvement have been exhausted. There is, indeed, much room for higher and fuller devel- opment of that policy, and in opening new industries and giving occupation to labor. The British government, the rich est ofall Europe, has not only built rail- ways through India, by which they are able to bring the products of that country into competition with those of our own country to the detriment of our farmers and producers, but they have wisely ex- pended millions of British gold in devel- oping water and in the construction of vast irrigating canals and storage reser- voirs, by which they have made that re- markable country one of the most pro ductive in the world. Surely there can be no reason why the United States should be outdone in national enterprise. While millions of dollars are appropriated for river and harbor improvements, pos sibly it would be well to devote some at. tention to the vast area of the West, DOT tions of which, though comparatively useless now, might be turned into bus jest scenes of industry. It certainly cannot be expected that pioneers and settlers, who take up I6o acres ofland as homesteads, must by private expendi- ture inaugurate system of internal i'm provements that would benefit the public domain still held by the Government"

The EPITAPH acknowledges the receip

The EPITAPH acknowledges the receipt from Major Fred w. Smith, Receiver of the Tucson Land office, of copies of nev desert land blanks which he states super cede all others. The blank affidavit of applicant is printed in this issue. It will be noticed that land can be entered as desert land which twill not, without artificial irrigation, produce an agricul- tural crop of any kind reasonably re- munerative, and that will not, if unfed by grazing animals, produce native grasses sufficient in quantity to make ar ordinary crop of hay in usual seasons. This is quite change from the old rul ing in favor of our county.

A Washington special to the Herald says: James G. Blaine is expected to reach San Francisco on his return to the United States in June next. He will return via Japan. Five days after his arrival in San Francisco, the National Republican convention will be held t. Blaine will remain in California until the nomination has been made. One of Mir. Blaine's party managers, who is an authority for the statement, says the Maine statesman will be renominated practically without opposition. His presence in California will, it is believed create so great furore as to insure him the solid vote of the Pacific slope. The journey across the continent will be according to the present programme ! the greatest ovation ever accorded to ar American statesman, except that O General Grant in 1879. Nebraska Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and New York will be visited by him en route te his home.
